Hot Christmas in July

Christmas in July, you say it is too early and way to hot. Well you are right, but I have to tell you, yesterday on my way to work I pulled out a cd without looking (I do that sometimes). Low and behold it was Jazzy Christmas Music. I turned the car ac down to 60 degrees and actually enjoyed listening. It had me thinking, for us crafters its time to get jiggy with it.

When I got home yesterday I went to visit a few blog friends. I admire bloggers who take the time to teach a craft. They put so much time in the photos and giving directions (to those that take time to post tutorials "May you forever be blessed with front row parking at the local craft joints").

I could not believe what I saw. I found Christmas at the blog of some great friends. If you are in the Christmas in July mood you have to go over and visit my friends at Roots and Wings. They are two crafty sisters, Rebecca and Anjeanette, along with their craftey sister in law, Katrina. If you have ever wanted to make a advent calendar and did not know where to start just drop over a take a look at all the different ones. (I would show you a picture, but their work is copyrighted and I have not asked permission) They show you in great detail how to make for your family. Oh and I almost forgot to tell you about the cool Christmas garland chain they show you how to make. This idea can be used in so many ways, but you have to see it for yourself....let me know what you think...

Wow! Seriously, how can someone be so nice!? I'm totally loving your pictures with this post. And I'm just so honored to read such a nice post about us. We are just making an excuse to craft things with our little blog. We always just made things and with a blog we get to share them with other crazies like ourselves.

...wow, what a reminder! it will be here before we know it...won't it. i love the part of driving in your car with the ac down to 60 listening to christmas music...i would need it to be something more like 50 to jog my mood in that direction! LOL!!! great post, xo, mickey
